Birth Totem Goose - December 22nd - January 19th
Birth Totem Goose is an individual whose outer personality is one of quiet determination and resourcefulness. As one who is born under the birth totem of goose goes about his/her daily life, they are conscious of the need to preserve all resources, both their own internal energies, and the resources of nature. Does this suggest that these individuals are lazy? Hardly, what it does suggest is that they know how to make the most out of their energy, plotting and planning their moves and steps along the Red Road of physical life so that they can produce the most effective results. Less conservation minded individuals will lay collapsed along the wayside, while goose is still plodding resolutely forward, eyes firmly focused on the goal ahead. Goose souls may become so single-minded in their drive to provide a safe nest for their mate and offspring that the relationship to these loved ones may suffer as a result. It is not from lack of love or caring that interpersonal relationships suffer, it is rather from their tendency to block out all but the singular goal lest they become distracted and waver from attaining their objective. This is the greatest stumbling block for goose as he/she may ultimately attain their beautifully feathered and sturdy nest, only to turn around when it has ultimately been achieved to find there is no mate there with which to share in the accomplishment. Because they can become so driven and focused, birth totem goose may lose sight of those aspects that make life truly enjoyable, the connection to other souls along the journey of life.
And while their own personal integrity in how they approach and operate in life is almost always above reproach due to their high standards of honesty, the ultimate lesson for these souls to learn from goose is the need to balance material and physical aims with spiritual and emotional connections. Once goose recognizes that they need also preserve their relationships to others, then the unfolding of the souls higher intent of integrity through proper action can be achieved and the result is a beautifully woven, warm and full nest.
Birth Totem Snow Goose
December 22 - January 19
Determination ~ Resourcefulness
Persevering, determined, and ambitious to a fault, the Goose Totem sets goals for accomplishment, and always obtains them. The Goose is determined to succeed at all costs ~ not for the approval of others, but Goose Totem competes with their own internal foe. Driven is Goose Totem's dominating personality trait. If you want something done, give it to the Goose!
The Snow Goose has been called 'goose from beyond the north wind' because of the direction these geese go when they migrate in the spring. Some species of Snow Goose travel 5,000 miles each year, flying in a loose V pattern, usually with a female in the lead.
The Snow Geese are very gregarious. It is not unusual to see 20,000 or 30,000 birds all stopping to eat at the same location. At their nesting grounds, they show respect for tradition by allowing the experienced nesters to have the first choice of sites. Both goose and gander stay with the eggs.
Snow Geese are nitpickers. They will spend hours picking mosquitoes or other insects off each other. Working with the Snow Goose Totem can teach you about the creative mystery, the universal powers, tradition, perfection, stability, community, ceremony, vision, and evolution.
People with Snow Goose Birth Totem usually have above-average abilities to both understand the magical kingdoms and to learn how to use their supernatural powers. In addition, they all share a need to ground themselves and to learn how to be of the earth as well as the sky. Many of such people possess the power of rejuvenation and can become healers if they develop their psychic powers. They also need to let their emotions flow freely and to learn to trust other people.

Practical and materialistic, Snow Goose people rarely respond to emotional appeal and dislike anything that smells of hypocrisy.
Tradition is important to those born under this Totem, and they search the past in order to find meaningful guidelines for the future. They are hard working and have great stamina, and they are cautious about making too many changes in their lives.
If Geese show themselves as your Totem, consider your role in your family, work-place or community. Geese form strong family units that stay together beyond the breeding season, traveling to winter territory and later returning to familiar grounds. If the Goose is your Totem, it may be time to reach out for help or support and work together to accomplish more than double what you can do alone. Snow Geese travel in groups that can reach the tens of thousands, so joining a large organization and striving for the greater good may be your purpose now. The message of the Snow Goose Totem is to band together and enjoy the benefits of cooperation and belonging.
Goose Totem teaches vigilance and protection. Ask anyone who lives on a farm, or out in the country, what the best breed of dog is to get for a watchdog, and they will almost certainly tell you ~ 'a goose'. Geese have become notorious for their fearless defense of their homeland, often chasing off animals such as dogs or other predators with their enormous size and formidable honking noise.
People with Snow Goose Totem have a talent for communicating, especially writing, and they draw upon the innocent imagination of childhood to make their point with stories.
With Birth Totem Snow Goose, you are open to new ideas, to spiritual quests, and to physical travel. However, you should be cautioned to have all the facts at hand before setting out on new adventures ~ both physical and metaphysical. Be prepared to have your imagination take fire, and be ready for new experiences and fulfilled dreams.
If the Goose is at hand, it's time to move forward with your life. Move with care and enjoy. Be flexible. Let go of the old and allow yourself to gracefully move into your new self.
